notes
Realize that 4.5 is not a constant! It is the product of density of air and the
conversion factor of 60 minutes per hour. The density of air at “standard”
conditions (69.5°F DB dry air at sea level) results in the value 4.5. Air at other
conditions and elevations will cause this factor to change.
Using the supply airflow calculated during Period 4 and the enthalpy values
read from the psychrometric chart:
Converting to the more common units of tons:
